New GCC Mirror in Iran
A new GCC mirror in Iran may face legal obstacles due to U.S. export regulations.
Kambiz Asadzadeh offered to contribute a new public mirror for GCC hosted in Iran. Mark Wielaard notes that due to U.S. Export Administration Regulations, explicitly facilitating the export of software from the U.S. to Iran might not be possible. They will seek legal guidance, which may take some time.
In Details
This concerns the legalities of hosting a GCC mirror in Iran, given that the main GCC servers are in the USA, and U.S. Export Administration Regulations regarding software exports to Iran.
For Context
GCC source code and binaries are mirrored worldwide to provide faster downloads. However, due to the location of the main GCC servers in the USA, U.S. export regulations may restrict the ability to host a mirror in certain countries.
